Thank you for replying Steve.
I have a windows partition on the same machine and it works perfectly there.
So I don't think there is a problem with the cable feed or hardware itself.
Not sure if it has any relevance but I noticed in windows, the red LED light
in the front is always on whereas in linux, it only turns on right before it
tries to lock in to a channel.
I should add that the 3 channels that were successfully scaned do not always
get picked up in subsequent attempts. It seems like it has trouble tuning. At
least it's good to know it's a problem on my end. Just have to find a way to
fix it.
